Meanwhile, Cambridge fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against Hitchcock County on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 20-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Falcons. While losing is never fun, the Trojans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska football rankings (they are ranked 49th, while the Falcons are ranked ninth).

This is the second loss in a row for Cambridge and nudges their season record down to 5-3. As for Loomis, their victory bumped their record up to 6-2.
Thursday's game might be decided on the ground. Loomis has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 232.1 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Cambridge struggles in that department as they've been averaging 185.1 rushing yards. There's a good chance Thursday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Everything came up roses for Loomis against Cambridge when the teams last played back in September, as the team secured a 66-38 win. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was the Trojans' Brady Ahlemeyer, who picked up 166 receiving yards and a pair of scores, and also rushed for 52 yards on only five carries. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will the Wolves still be able to contain Ahlemeyer? There's only one way to find out.
